Island's papers turned up to see wreck (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disable

'wreck' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'island's papers turned up' is the wordplay.
'island's' becomes 'Elba's' (Italian island).
'papers' becomes 'ID' (identity papers).
'turned up' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'elbas'+'id'='elbasid'
'elbasid' reversed gives 'DISABLE'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for disable that I've seen before include "cripple" , "Make inoperable" , "Stop working" , "Weaken" , "Deactivate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
